š£AND THEN⦠KA-BOOM! GABBY AND TONY PLOT TO BURN DOWN THE KIRIAKIS EMPIRE! šš„
Hold onto your teacups, because Gabby Hernandez (Camila Banus) and Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) are done playing nice ā and their fiery new alliance is set to TURN SALEM UPSIDE DOWN.
The explosive conspiracy brewing behind closed doors is nothing short of legendary. Demira Enterprises is under Kiriakis control. Gabby Chic is in shackles. And Gabbyās tired of being cornered.

But this isnāt just a business move ā itās WAR.
Gabby has been shut down at every turn ā from Brady Black, to Alex Kiriakis, and even Philip and Xander slamming every door in her face. Now sheās done asking.
Enter Tony. A DiMera through and through ā but one with vision, pride, and a bone to pick with the Kiriakis clan. Together, Gabby and Tony are hatching a plan thatās more than revenge.
āTheyāre fighting fire with fire,ā Tony tells her.
āWeāre going to fight fire with arson.ā
š„ MIC DROP.
This isnāt corporate chess ā itās arson-level sabotage. And weāre here for every blaze. Rumors swirl that their tactics may include:
- Exposing Kiriakis family secrets š
- A covert financial takeover š¼
- A PR scandal that leaves the empire in ruins
The pairing of Gabbyās passion and Tonyās strategy is an unlikely masterstroke. Sheās scrappy, bold, and ready to break rules. Heās calm, calculating, and carries the DiMera name. Together? They could change the game forever.
But the stakes couldnāt be higher. If they fail, they risk:
- Losing Gabby Chic entirely
- Sacrificing DiMera Enterprises
- Destroying their reputations in Salem for good
š§ØTHE BIG PICTURE: NOSTALGIA, NEW BLOOD, AND A WHOLE LOTTA FIRE
